Sondra Eger

I am currently enrolled in a Social and Ecological Sustainability PhD program within the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability (SERS). I have a Masters of Environmental Studies from the University of Waterloo and A Bachelor of Science from the University of British Colombia.

I am a passionate person who enjoys facilitating connections and collaborations between individuals and organizations to assist in protecting natural ecosystems. I love being outside and connecting with nature through travelling, hiking, scuba diving, camping, sailing, and nature/wildlife photography.

I am involved in a variety of University of Waterloo, national and local organizations including being a member and young professional of the following organizations: Canadian Rivers Institute, Canadian Water Network, OceanCanada Partnership, SWIGS (Students of the Water Institute Graduate section), IUCN World Commission of Protected Areas (WCPA)- Young Professionals group (North American Focal Point and co- leader of the Freshwater group), and a part of the #NatureForAll team (a Parks Canada initiative).
